Wedding Dress Care
Let’s face it, you have probably paid a small fortune for your wedding gown, more than you have ever spent on another piece of clothing in your life. So what are you going to do with it once you have worn it? Put in back in the wardrobe, put it in the attic perhaps, keeping it for your daughter, or selling it on hoping to get a return on your initial investment. Unfortunately, there are many, many things that can happen to your gown by not getting it cleaned:
Oxidisation– particularly applicable to invisible spills, which over time will turn brown and are very difficult to remove.
Yellowing– caused by storing your gown in a box which is not pH neutral or using tissue paper which is not 100% acid free.
Mildew– by keeping your gown in a plastic gown bag and subjecting it to fluctuations in temperature will cause the material to ‘sweat’. This will result in the material mildewing or moulding. Cleaning your gown at this stage will result in black spots being left on the material. Keeping your gown on a hanger also causes strain to shoulder seams.
Fading– not protecting your gown from sunlight will eventually cause the material to fade.
Dust– over the years dust will mark your gown. So your gown, slowly but surely, deteriorates over the years. Don’t hesitate, then, to have your gown professionally cleaned by us.
Do’s!
Have your dress cleaned as soon as possible after the wedding, by an expert who specialises in cleaning wedding dresses.
It is always best to separate a wedding dress from any other item and to surround it with white acid free tissue paper,
Place the dress in a genuinely dark place.
Follow simple sensible rules; store away from light, heat, damp, etc. always store in a pH neutral medium.
Don’ts!
Do not store your dress long term in plastic dress covers.
Do not store in a normal cardboard box. Colour dyes in clothes will all have an effect on the purer fabrics of a wedding dress if it lies next to it.
NEVER wrap the wedding dress in BLACK tissue paper. All coloured tissue paper contains dye, which will affect the dress.
Don't hang a dress on a hanger long term, to avoid stress on the seams and shape.
Never store the dress in the attic. All sorts of disasters such as a leaking roof, general damp, and insects can affect a dress in the attic, even if it is well protected!
